Lossly storing IP in LLM itself, and using IP for training (so it’s lossly stored in LLM), without licensing these works or otherwise following license agreements (eg GPL) is infringement. Using then this product for commercial activity is a smoking gun.

"Lossly storing IP in LLM itself, a" - that part I'm inclined to agree with.

But it's debatable if that's the case.

Google stores copyrighted content and produces in in their product.

Also - it's fair game to use snippets of things here and there, if the derived work is novel, which I think it is for LLMs, mostly.

I do agree though, that we ought to draw the line somehow.
